Chapter 487: While Sparring, Taking Advantage of the Yin Person

As the memorial service ended, Huang Daxian and Heifeng were brought back to the base of Taiyin Shengdi—Wang Kui City.

Along the way, Huang Daxian and Heifeng felt low-spirited, tears occasionally welling in their eyes, as if still immersed in grief for the Taiyin Holy Maiden and unable to extricate themselves.

Seeing this, the cultivators of Taiyin Shengdi couldn't help but feel a hint of sympathy.

"It seems their loyalty to the holy maiden can be verified by sun and moon," a young cultivator whispered to his companion, his tone carrying a hint of admiration.

"Yeah, their conduct is completely genuine," another cultivator replied, a complex glint flashing in his eyes, "Such people are emotional and righteous, worth making friends with."

Hearing these discussions, Huang Daxian and Heifeng secretly felt pleased.

They continue to maintain this mournful image, aiming to gain more sympathy from Taiyin Shengdi cultivators, thereby winning people's hearts and establishing a good image for themselves in the cultivators' minds.

At the gate of Wang Kui City, Moonflower Fairy's eyes also held a hint of admiration; she felt very satisfied with Huang Daxian and Heifeng's performance at the memorial for the Taiyin Holy Maiden and others.

"You two, being able to step forward at such a time and speak for the holy land's heroes, is truly rare." Moonflower Fairy's voice was gentle yet firm, "From now on, you are disciples of my Moonflower Lineage; come to me for any matter."

Huang Daxian and Heifeng hurriedly knelt on the ground, tears of gratitude flowing, saying, "Thank you, Fairy; we will surely exert our utmost and fulfill our duties."

Moonflower Fairy nodded, then turned to the surrounding cultivators and said, "Today, although the holy land has lost a great holy maiden, it has also gained two loyal disciples.

You should take them as your example from now on."

The cultivators responded in unison, their voices full of strength.

Huang Daxian and Heifeng rose to their feet, their eyes flashing with determined light.

In the days that followed, Huang Daxian and Heifeng painstakingly cultivated at the Taiyin Shengdi base.

Their performance became increasingly outstanding, making greater progress in cultivation; only then did Moonflower Fairy take notice of them, permitting them to penetrate deeper into Taiyin Shengdi's interior to fulfill the demon master's orders.

In the dead of night, Huang Daxian and Heifeng would go to a deserted corner, gazing at the layered halls and pavilions of the Taiyin Shengdi base, their eyes gleaming with sharp light.

"Heifeng, we have already gained Moonflower Fairy's trust; what should we do next?" Huang Daxian lowered his voice and asked.

"No rush; we still need more time and opportunity." Heifeng replied solemnly, "The internal situation of Taiyin Shengdi is more complex than we imagined; we must act cautiously."

After hearing this, Huang Daxian nodded, his eyes gleaming with a sly light in the night.

The next day, Huang Daxian and Heifeng got up early.

They decided to make the most of their time at the Taiyin Shengdi base, using as much of the Ten Fragrance Soft Bone Powder they carried as possible; this poison is colorless and odorless, to eliminate more cultivators.

So that Taiyin Shengdi cultivators could silently poison their opponents.

The cultivator friends they make in Taiyin Shengdi will give future Earth cultivators an advantage in opposing Taiyin Shengdi.

Huang Daxian tidied his clothes before the mirror, his expression solemn, yet his eyes flashed with a hint of slyness.

He turned to Heifeng and said, "Heifeng, brother, you must perform well today so that these Taiyin Shengdi cultivators will remember us deeply."

Heifeng nodded, took out a bottle of liquid emitting a strange fragrance from his storage ring—it was the Ten Fragrance Soft Bone Powder. He carefully applied a layer to both of their bodies, ensuring the fragrance would mask the poison's smell.

Heifeng hehehed, full of confidence, replying, "I really don't know how the boss researched such a wonderful thing."

"Haha, there are many more mysterious things on the demon master; you'll find out gradually through contact." Huang Daxian said proudly after hearing that.

Many things' terrifying power can even rival the destructive force of high-level cultivators.

They are now applied in the Universe Cultivation World; each time they appear, they can catch cultivators off guard.

After the two made their preparations, they headed to the Taiyin Shengdi training field.

On the training field, many cultivators were exchanging cultivation insights and sparring.

Huang Daxian and Heifeng put on an appearance of enthusiasm and eagerness to learn, proactively stepping forward to converse with them.

"Fellow Daoists, I've just arrived; please give me plenty of guidance." Huang Daxian smiled broadly, acting like an old acquaintance.

A young cultivator looked at them curiously and asked, "Are you newcomers? How come I've never seen you before?"

"Haha, we were brought by Moonflower Fairy; we only arrived yesterday." Huang Daxian replied, meanwhile patting his chest to show his "sincerity."

Heifeng also chimed in: "Yeah, we previously only followed the Taiyin Holy Maiden outside the base.

After the holy maiden's demise, Moonflower Fairy extended her favor to us, permitting us to train at the base and look after us two brothers.

Seeing their sincere attitude and hearing they were connected to Moonflower Fairy, the Taiyin Shengdi cultivators immediately relaxed their guard.

Huang Daxian and Heifeng acted like old acquaintances, taking the opportunity to shake hands, pat shoulders, and even deliberately fall during sparring to increase bodily contact.

"Oh dear, this brother's cultivation level is utterly unfathomable; I admire him greatly." After sparring with a cultivator, Huang Daxian deliberately fell and then embraced the man's leg.

"Haha, too kind, too kind." That cultivator was made to laugh hysterically, completely unaware he had already been affected by the Ten Fragrance Soft Bone Powder.

Heifeng was not to be outdone.

While interacting with a female cultivator, he deliberately let his hand slip, almost knocking her jade slip away, then hastily reached out to catch it, taking the opportunity to smear something on her hand.

"Be careful, this is my treasure," the female cultivator chided, yet she didn't notice Heifeng's small move.

Thus, Huang Daxian and Heifeng went about the training field "making friends" everywhere.

Those comical actions and funny behavior made the cultivators present unable to hold back laughter, gradually piquing their interest.

"Huang Daxian, your acting skills are such a waste not to go into theater," Heifeng whispered to Huang Daxian after one "accident."

"Haha, this is for the great undertaking; how could it be a pity?" Huang Daxian replied proudly.

"Huang Daxian, do you say this counts as 'poisoning fellow sect members'?" Heifeng suddenly teased.

"Haha, this is carrying out heaven's will; if the people of Taiyin Shengdi knew our true identities, they'd probably be so angry they'd vomit blood."

The two watched the backs of the cultivators leaving the scene, somewhat anticipating their forthcoming poison reactions.

At that moment, deep in Black City, the Longling Demon Master sat enthroned, playing with a night pearl that emitted a faint glow.

Her gaze penetrated the layers of curtains, seeming to be able to discern everything a thousand li away.

Upon learning of Huang Daxian and Heifeng's actions, the corner of her mouth curled into a playful smile.

"These two fellows really gave me a surprise," the Longling Demon Master murmured to herself, her voice carrying a hint of hardly perceptible approval.

In his plan, Huang Daxian and Heifeng should have acted on the outskirts of Carefree Wanderer City, targeting isolated Taiyin Shengdi cultivators and silently spreading the poison.

However, these audacious fellows actually brought the poison directly into the Taiyin Shengdi base—Wang Kui City.

"Now there's a good show to watch." Longling the Demon Master's eyes flashed a hint of sly light.

Once the cultivators of Taiyin Shengdi are poisoned, they will surely cause a great disturbance.

And chaos is exactly what he expects.

In the chaos, he can seize the opportunity to divide Taiyin Shengdi and thereby strive for more development opportunities for Earth's cultivators.

Longling the Demon Master stood up, walked to a huge map, which marked the various fortresses and strongholds of Taiyin Shengdi.

His finger lightly traced the map, as if planning the next move.

"Taiyin Shengdi, Taiyin Shengdi, do you think you can rest easy in King Kui City?" Longling the Demon Master snorted coldly, "Soon you'll discover that the rules of this game have already been rewritten by me."

In King Kui City, Huang Daxian and Heifeng were unaware that their actions had already been known to Longling the Demon Master.

They continued carrying out their mission; each day's work, aside from cultivation, was to make contact with Taiyin Shengdi cultivators and then secretly spread the poison.

And in a secluded courtyard in King Kui City, Yin Ze Yang, who was cultivating alone, furrowed his brows, as if pondering something important.

Recently, some events have occurred in the city, giving him a sense of an unusual atmosphere.

Especially when he learned that Huang Daxian and Heifeng had been brought into the city by the Moonflower Immortal, a plan formed in his mind.

He is Elder Yin's favored disciple and also Elder Yin's capable assistant among the younger generation.

Not long ago, upon learning that his master had lost face before the Moonflower Immortal, he felt intense anger and has been wanting to regain that dignity for his master.

Since a few days ago, when he received the Moonflower Immortal's bringing of Huang Daxian and Heifeng into King Kui City, he decided to give Huang Daxian and Heifeng some "special attention."

The next day, Huang Daxian and Heifeng were strolling in the city, seeking opportunities to contact more Taiyin Shengdi cultivators, but they failed to notice that Yin Ze Yang had quietly followed behind them.

"Two fellow Daoists, I hear you are subordinates of the Moonflower Immortal?" Yin Ze Yang suddenly appeared from behind, smiling as he asked.

Huang Daxian and Heifeng exchanged a glance, both sensing ill intent in Yin Ze Yang's tone, yet they calmly replied, "Exactly."

Yin Ze Yang feigned surprise, saying, "The Moonflower Immortal's judgment is getting worse and worse—bringing any stray cat or dog to Taiyin Shengdi; if this got out, wouldn't it make people laugh at Taiyin Shengdi for having no standards?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Daxian's face slightly changed, but he quickly regained composure: "Fellow Daoist, what do you mean by these words?"

"Although we are lacking talent, we would not disgrace the name of Taiyin Shengdi."

"Moreover, we have not offended you in the slightest; why insult the Moonflower Immortal?"

Heifeng also said coldly, "Fellow Daoist, if you have any dissatisfaction with us, just say it straight; there's no need to beat around the bush or drag the Moonflower Immortal into this."

Seeing the two slightly angered, Yin Ze Yang felt even more pleased; as for them using the Moonflower Immortal to attack him, he was completely unmoved.

His master's lineage and the Moonflower lineage are inherently opposed like water and fire; there's no need to fear the Moonflower Immortal.

Yin Ze Yang curled the corner of his mouth, deliberately sighed, and said, "Ah, this is also for the sake of the holy land's reputation."

"Since you two are subordinates of the Moonflower Immortal, you naturally ought to have some genuine ability."

"How about this: let's spar, so the holy land's fellows can see just how much capability the Moonflower Immortal's subordinates really have."

Huang Daxian and Heifeng knew this was Yin Ze Yang's provocation, but they could not show weakness and directly accepted his challenge.

The sparring was set to take place in the city's Martial Arts Arena, where cultivators normally exchange martial arts.

Yin Ze Yang deliberately spread the news, aiming to attract many cultivators to come watch.

He would defeat Huang Daxian and Heifeng, then humiliate them badly in the Martial Arts Arena, thereby dealing a heavy blow to the Moonflower Immortal's face, thus venting his hatred for Elder Yin.

Yin Ze Yang stood in the center of the Martial Arts Arena, holding a sword that radiated cold light, lightly tapping its tip, and said, "Come at me together!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Daxian and Heifeng said nothing more.

They knew they had to display sufficient strength today to make Yin Ze Yang shut up.

The two exchanged a glance, then attacked simultaneously.

Their moves were as fast as lightning, their techniques extremely fierce; Yin Ze Yang's eyes flashed with surprise—he hadn't expected these two seemingly insignificant fellows to actually possess some skill.

But he quickly adjusted his state and began to respond seriously.

"Boom—"

On the Martial Arts Arena, the three figures intertwined; sword light, fist shadows, and the radiance of spells wove together, dazzling the eyes.

The surrounding spectators continually exclaimed in amazement.

After a fierce exchange, Yin Ze Yang held a slight edge, but Huang Daxian and Heifeng also displayed considerable skill, causing everyone to view them anew.

"Hmph, the light of fireflies also dares to rival the sun and moon!"

Although Yin Ze Yang felt unwilling, he stood in the center of the Martial Arts Arena, emanating a powerful aura.

He slowly raised both hands, gathering a mass of dark energy in his palms.

This is his proudest secret technique—the Shadow-Splitting Palm.

"Bang—"

The Shadow-Splitting Palm, accompanied by a sound of breaking through the air, went straight for Huang Daxian and Heifeng.

However, just as Yin Ze Yang's palm strike was about to hit them, Huang Daxian and Heifeng suddenly made an unexpected move.

They not only did not dodge, but instead charged straight into his palm strike, as if deliberately seeking injury.

"Bang!" a loud crash.

Huang Daxian and Heifeng were struck by Yin Ze Yang's palm; their bodies flew backward like broken kites, landing heavily on the ground.

The surrounding cultivators let out a gasp; they had not expected the battle to end in this manner.

Huang Daxian and Heifeng lay on the ground, blood trickling from the corners of their mouths, yet their eyes flashed with a hint of slyness.

Huang Daxian struggled to his feet, his voice weak but clear, carrying across the entire Martial Arts Arena: "Moonflower acted against Elder Yin only to preserve our two lives."

"Since you wish to vent your anger on Elder Yin, we are willing to stake our lives, thereby dispelling Elder Yin's grudge against the Moonflower Immortal."

"Fellow Daoist, please do not place your resentment on the Moonflower; she is our benefactor."

These words were like a heavyweight bomb, causing an uproar among the watching cultivators.
